| | Total Accountability: “Noreen is simply the best. Producing shows is always a challenge but working with Noreen and her team is one of the highlights. She is an amazing results producer – whether it be advertising, events or PR she is relentless in getting every show what they need.” Tony D’Angelo, Theatrical Producer "We've worked with Noreen Heron and Associates for over 10 years and the results are always fantastic. No one knows Chicago media like Noreen and her team, and their creativity and professionalism shines through on every project. They are responsive and proactive - it is a joy to work with them." Lori Alexander, Director, Field Public Relations, North America, Hyatt Hotels “A STEADY RAIN turned out to be a smash hit in NYC. You and your agency should receive accolades for the excellent work you did on promoting the play in Chicago.As a result of your PR efforts the play attracted the attention of major Broadway producers and two big film stars, Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman.I have worked with many ad and PR agencies in my 37 play-producing life in NYC and London; I must say I was somewhat surprised by your enthusiasm for ‘spreading the news’ and dedication to every detail of promotion and publicity, which rubbed off on your staff, which made working with you and your company a pleasure.You may be in the 2nd city, but you are 2nd to none in your work.” Frank Gero, Producer of A STEADY RAIN “In my dealings with Noreen, I found her to be incredibly creative, hard working, well organized and someone who has extremely high ethical values. Anyone who has the privilege of working with her is doing themselves a huge favor.” John Powers, Author and Playwright "Yes, Heron PR creates fully integrated PR campaigns, but more importantly, they produce results!" Tim O'Malley, President, Concierge Preferred Magazine “We began working with Heron PR about two years ago. Since then we have hired them for four different projects to handle public relations and marketing.There are specific reasons we keep coming back to Heron PR. They leave no stone unturned in their approach to finding opportunities to promote our productions. They are always up for any challenge and enjoy hard work. They pride themselves in under promising and over delivering. They have always exceeded expectations. They love their work and are passionate about doing it well. They are smart, sophisticated and yet humble. We have great meetings. The exchange of ideas are honest, upfront and yet caring. They have good instincts. They are loyal, enthusiastic and are an absolute joy to work with.I cannot over state how good they are and how much we enjoy having Heron PR on our team. They are a major part of our success.” Max McLean, Producer of The Screwtape Letters and Mark’s Gospel "Having a team on our side with the vast experience of Noreen Heron & Associates is a major asset to our company. Their decades of experience with Chicagoland musical theatre has helped us reach a much higher exposure in the marketplace than ever before." Jon Heuring, Managing Director, Porchlight Music Theatre Over-Delivering: “There are very few people in the country that can compare to Noreen’s passion and commitment to her clients. She brings excitement to everything that she works on and understands that what is needed in today’s market reaches far beyond just media placements. She draws no lines in what is the job as a publicist vs. what it takes for her client to be successful, crafting not only a PR strategy but a fully integrated campaign that includes public relations, events, social media, and sales.” Eileen LaCario, Vice President, Broadway In Chicago
“Noreen and her staff came to me from a very satisfied customer. He said ‘You will not have enough time to handle all of the business’, and I said to myself, ‘OK, let’s see what happens here’. I was in fact overwhelmed with the amount of phone calls, e-mails and business that came my way once the campaign started. It was really amazing how our brand became a household name in a matter of a few months. Heron PR has excellent contacts and are awesome to deal with. Thanks Noreen Heron & Associates for all your help with Bettinardi Golf”. Robert J Bettinardi- President/CEO Bettinardi Golf
"I have had the privilege of working with Noreen Heron & Associates for the past five years and can honestly say that I have never been disappointed. Through their consistent efforts and hard work I have see an unprecedented increase to the bottom line and more importantly the entire Drury Lane brand has been completely revitalized. Quite simply, Drury Lane would be lost without the insight and level of service Noreen and her team bring to the table." Kyle DeSantis, Executive Producer, Drury Lane Oakbrook “In 2008, we hosted "Massage for the Cure", which is a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen For The Cure. We contracted with Noreen Heron & Associates and were blown away from not only what they generated for a first year event in the number 3 ranked market in the country, but I believe it catapulted us from being a new, unrecognized brand to one that launched our position as the largest Massage clinic franchise in all of Chicagoland.
Noreen's group secured live radio segments on two of the premiere radio stations in Chicago. They also secured a live feature on the NBC early morning news as well as a whole series (12 segments) of live cut-ins at our downtown clinic on FOX Television. In addition, Noreen's group has scored a featured segment on ABC's 190 North as well as spearheading relationships with Broadway in Chicago and the entire theatre district in downtown Chicago.
Noreen's entire staff takes on a project with "all 4" feet, diving in and going beyond the call to try and warrant a successful outcome. I can assure anyone that is trying to launch a brand or engage for any kind of public relations work, her group has my highest possible recommendation.”

“I’ve had PR firms since I first started my business 45 years ago and Heron PR is the best PR firm in the city.” John Davis, Owner, Geja’s Café “I've known Noreen Heron for many years since she began her career at my theatre, Candlelight Playhouse in Chicago. Noreen is "the best." She's smart, talented, honest, does a great job and is just a good person. Her group is all very sharp and on the ball. We feel lucky to have Noreen Heron & Associates as our representative.” William Pullinsi, Artistic Director, Theatre at the Center "I wanted you all at Heron to know how much I appreciate the job you’ve been doing. All the extra items secured, TV extras and I’m really impressed with the extra reviews you keep digging up after all these months. Really, really great!!” Spike Manton, Producer, LEAVING IOWA Total Accountability: “Noreen is simply the best.

I remember your team gushing with enthusiasm and ideas about how to extend our patient clientele beyond the shores of Lake Michigan. You came up with ideas that were professional and yet memorable to the public. You and your associates were able to get our message on network television three times; editorial stories that were picked up by newspapers around the world describing our newest research results and create a network of contacts in business that we continue to thrive on today.” Lowell Scott Weil, Sr., DPM, FACFAS, Chairman & CEO Weil Foot & Ankle Institute, Team Podiatric Physician, Chicago White Sox “You guys as always have done a fantastic job.
